These types of programs are a secular  take on the Advent Conspiracy video I [...]

Forty Years

On Nov. 5, 1968, Republican Richard M. Nixon won the presidency, defeating Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and third-party candidate George C. Wallace.
On Nov. 4, 2008, Democrat Barack H. Obama won the presidency, defeating Sen. John McCain.
Such simple sentences.
Such profound messages conveyed. I don’t know if I can adequately convey how these two events represent [...]

Please. Just Vote

If you are undecided, please vote for the possibility of the new. Vote Obama.

TeeVee these days

Instead of another political advertisement, could I have one for feminine hygiene products? One that tells me to "be happy" or talks about smelling fresh. Or maybe erectile dysfunction, with the people sitting fully clothed in the field in the two bathtubs?

Sometimes I [...]
